I am new to the whole linux thing and am interested in getting my ubuntu server setup with openvz.
I am having trouble installing. I thought I did all installation correct, but it seems that I have errors.
The first is the grub, I added the openvz piece, set default to 0. I am now receiving a error on line 15 file not found. would like advice for this.
I have installed vzctl that seemed to be okay.
Thanks,

You do not specify in any degree of detail,whether you want UBUNTU server in a container,or for use as a Hardware Node.
I for one,use the default OS of CENTOS5 LINUX,on my HN.
Assuming the former,if I was going to attempt running OpenVZ with an UBUNTU HN,
1. Patch the UBUNTU kernel rev. level,with a patched vanilla kernel of the same level,or apply patch yourself.
2. OpenVZ uses the RPM package manager "YUM",and not SYNAPTIC,for
*.deb packages.
There is a program called "ALIEN",that will install *.rpm software,to a DEBIAN type OS. (I personally have not tried it,but my friend "swears" by it. But,then again,he swears by a lot of things. Take it as a grain of salt.)
If all that can be done,your OS will boot into the OpenVZ kernel,and you can then use OpenVZ.
Assuming the latter,itstalling UBUNTU server in a VPS,either requires a pre-configured template of the OS,or you can create one yourself.
I'm sure,there is an OS template cache available from OpenVZ.
Installing a template cache instructions,can be found in OpenVZ
documentation,or on the WIKI.
You could then use your UBUNTU server media disk,to install additional software in the VPS,without the Internet.
Unless there is a specific reason for the potential HN to run
UBUNTU,I would switch to a supported OS. (CENTOS 5)
I for one,like DEBIAN LINUX,for running on low-end PC's.
I however,do not care for the UBUNTU version.
Baring my remarks,I have two DEBIAN containers running.
I hope this sends you in the right direction.

Here is what my grub looks like after I made the change added th openvz kernel entry and made the change on the default to 0.
Being new to this I hope this helps with my question, I am using Ubuntu 8.10.

default 0
timeout 3

In my experiences with OpenVZ installations on my test servers,I have never had a moment,that the installation never booted the OVZ kernel as the "default".(it automatically updates GRUB)
Of course,I use REDHAT.
I have not had an opportunity to try OpenVZ,on other platforms,and what you may experience,may be contributed to the way the kernel for DEBIAN,is packaged.
So you will need to edit GRUB by hand.
If the DEBIAN directory tree is the same for REDHAT,then your answer lies in the "/boot" directory.
Edit the GRUB menu,and add an entry,the same as the default boot kernel,EXCEPT,use the OVZ kernel.
You will need to set the "default" entry,to where this kernel boots first.(depending on the listing of kernel choices.
Use the "grub.conf" file,provided from another commenter,as a guide.
This number usually starts at "0".
